CELEBRATE
CHINESE
NEW YEAR 2017
...IN CHINA!
There’s no better place to celebrate Chinese New
Year than in China itself, so we’ve created a special
tour where you can do just that.
CHINESE NEW YEAR
Chinese New Year is the world’s biggest festival and there is
no better place to experience it than the great cities of China.
Immerse yourself in Chinese culture and celebrate this special
time of year like the locals do; with fireworks, family festivities
and temple fairs.
Chinese New Year is
celebrated all over the world,
but nothing compares to
being in my homeland during
the world’s biggest festival
where the celebrations are at
their best.
That’s why I’ve worked closely
with my expert team and created
an exclusive Chinese New Year
tour in 2017, bringing you up
close to the incredible celebrations
in China’s most exciting cities.
Starting in vibrant Hong Kong,
you’ll be right in the heart of the
festivities on New Year’s Eve; with
a dazzling parade full of incredible
costumes and thrilling fireworks all
from your cruise boat – but that’s
not enough! We’ve ensured there’s
excitement, authentic experiences
and luxury moments from start to
finish on this 10 day journey of
discovery; you’ll enjoy Champagne
on the Great Wall, get up close
to the Terracotta Warriors and
celebrate Spring Festival with a
local family in Beijing.
So do something different next
Chinese New Year and join us on
this ultimate adventure. Places
are limited, so book soon to
avoid disappointment.
I look forward to welcoming you
on this trip of a lifetime.
